Peter Hansen's Garden & Nursery – West Lolland Botanical Garden
Peter Hansen's Garden is a botanical gem spanning over 55,000 square meters, expanded in 2017 with a new 25,000-square-meter arboretum, and home to one of Northern Europe's largest privately owned plant collections. The garden is inspired by English gardens, which the owner has visited many times, and combines classic gardening principles with a personal touch.
In addition to its beautiful grounds, the garden is known for its unique plant collection, the thousands of green frogs in its ponds, and the abundant birdlife that make the garden a lush oasis in the countryside. With approximately 1,300 rhododendrons, 280 magnolias, 40 bamboos, 1,000 hostas, 700 daylilies, 500 peonies, 500 hellebores, and many other rare plants, there is something to delight both gardening enthusiasts and nature lovers.
